Special Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Nursing Homes Support Scheme: Discussion

10:15 am

Dr. Kathleen MacLellan:

We are doing some work with the ESRI on demand and financing models across home care as part of the preparation for the statutory home care scheme. That will give us a much stronger sense of the demand and the type of finance model, and linked with that has been the standard assessment tool. This means we will be able to link that with the kind of care needs across our older people, hopefully guiding people towards the different types of care.
